To The Aotg.com Community,

It is with a heavy heart that we announce we will no longer be updating Aotg.com. Back in 2007, when we started, there was a lack of access to information about film, television, and commercial editing. We wanted to fix that by creating a central location for content about editing to be stored.

Since then, we've watched the amount of content about editing on the internet grow exponentially. We've also watched social media tools come and go with that growth. Does anyone remember Google Wave!? These social media tools changed how people access and search for media and information. People tend to turn to Facebook, Youtube, Twitter, and Instagram for their news and information, and those are all great tools to promote your sites, but as a site that aggregates links to other sites for users, it just doesn't work for us.

We will keep the site live but archive the ability to add links and comments. We will keep our database live with the links for those who desire to use it to search for editing information and research.

Our podcast, The Cutting Room, will move over to the Filmmakeru.com website and will continue to be a place for interviews with editors and other film professionals.

Everyone who worked for Aotg.com loved what we created and are proud that we could help so many editors find content that spoke to them.

I look forward to seeing everyone at the various post events worldwide in the coming years!

Yours truly,
Gordon Burkell
Aotg.com Founder

Apple's new video patents: Who needs editors?

August 2, 2012, 09:39 PM

Following on from a patent for media collaboration for professionals, Apple have today been awarded a patent for editing applications. Note that I'm not interested in whether such things should be patentable, I'm interested in what these ideas could mean for future software.

My First Adobe Premiere CS5.5 Experience

August 2, 2012, 02:46 PM

http://bvmedia.wordpress.com/2011/08/18/my-first-a...

It's been several weeks now since Apple released their new version of Final Cut for the masses. Having seen a demonstration of Premiere Pro CS5.5 in use at a recent video production conference, I was fairly impressed at what I saw. But as we know from even Apple's NAB demo of Final Cut Pro X, demonstrations are not the real thing. However, seeing Apple's demo of FCPX made me realize I didn't want to go down the path of the iMovie-style interface, so even before Apple's release of FCPX...

Videoguys thoughts on FCPX 10.0.1

August 2, 2012, 02:40 PM

http://www.videoguys.com/Blog/E/Videoguys+thoughts...

On 9/20/11 Apple released their first update to FCPX 10.0.1. While it shows some progress, it doesn't address the main issues and reasons so many Pros have left Apple for Adobe and/or Avid. The comments below have been added to our Videoguys' Options for Final Cut Editors blog post, but I felt they were also worth sharing as a new blog post.

Final Cut Pro vs. Adobe Premiere CS 5.5

August 2, 2012, 02:40 PM

http://www.dvinfo.net/article/post/final-cut-pro-v...

Dave Newman asked Shane Ramirez, our editing manager here at Media Design to relate his thoughts on the new Adobe Premiere Pro platform vs. our old version of Final Cut Pro (7). I asked him which platform he would be using for his latest project, since he was trained originally on Final Cut, and his answer was Premiere Pro CS 5.5, and with his comments, we can perhaps determine why.
